Interface StateParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

SerializableCartPoleStateFactory.CartPoleStateParser, SerializableFrostbiteStateFactory.FrostbiteStateParser, SerializableGridWorldStateFactory.GridWorldStateParser, SerializableInvertedPendulumStateFactory.InvertedPendulumStateParser, SerializableLunarLanderStateFactory.LunarLanderStateParser, SerializableMountainCarStateFactory.MountainCarStateParser, StateJSONParser, StateYAMLParser

public interface StateParser

This interface is used to converting states to parsable string representations and parsing those string representations back into states. Although there is a domain-universal string parser implementation of this interface, it is very verbose and file size and readability may be improved by creating a domain-specific state parser.

Method Detail

stateToString

java.lang.String stateToString(State s)

Converts state s into a parsable string representation.

Parameters:

s - the state to convert

Returns:

a parsable string representation of state s.

stringToState

Parameters:

str - a string representation of a state

Returns:

the state object that corresponds to the string representation.
